Detroit Institute of Arts launches Fifth Year of popular
Inside|Out Program

January 17,
2014: The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is taking art
to the streets around Metro Detroit for the fifth year in a row.
The DIA announced on Friday the participating cities in this
year’s popular Inside|Out program, which brings high-quality
reproductions of masterpieces from the DIA’s collection to
outdoor venues throughout the area.

Over the
past four years, the DIA has installed more than 700
reproductions in 98 communities. This year eight cities are
participating for the first time. More than 80 reproductions
will be in nine cities, some with multiple venues, from April to
July, and then placed in nine other venues from August to
October. Each community will have from five to 12 images
clustered within walking or bike-riding distance. Exact
placements are still being determined and, once finalized, will
be featured on an interactive map on the DIA’s website,
www.dia.org.

“We’re
excited to embark on the fifth year of Inside|Out,” said
Graham W. J. Beal, DIA director. “It’s been amazing to see
how Inside|Out has grown over the past four years, fostering
both creativity and pride among residents within their
communities.”
